They a r e also n ecessary to house the various fil es, r e cords and other imp edimenta of office .

When you are on the campus stop by for a visit with "Ike" Edwards and see the n ew setup - it is not pre tentious but highly serviceable.

The l etters of appointment of Committees for Athletics, Curricula and Research, Finance, and M embership have all been dispatched and no turn-downs have been r e ceived. This is encouraging and importa nt for if we are to make this thing work it will require the b est from ev eryone .

The Finance and M embership Committees have l arge jobs to do immedi a t ely.

Finance under Enoch Needles will shortly solicit funds from a sel ected list to make up an anticipated operating de ficit of $5000. for the next year.

M embership , with Rex Z. Willia ms as Chairman, is shooting for 2000 paid m embers for the next year an increase of 50 % over the past year.

Both goals are possible of achievem ent if w e g et und er way.

I , therefore, ask that we imm e dia t ely give special effort to fund r a ising and to the exp a n sion of our membebrship a nd Local Section.

Fine words of support and apprecia tion of our program have b een received from D . C . J ackling ' 92, President 1932-33 , a nd from M . H . Thornberry '12 , President 1926-27.

McHaney Warns Against letting MU, MSM Drop Standard Because of Low Salaries

Unless the people of Missouri are careful the University of Missouri, including the School of Mines and Metallurgy, may drop to a secondary position due to inadequate salaries paid teachers, according to Powell B_ McHaney, President of the Board of Curators of the University. He spoke to a record crowd of parents at the annual Parents' Day program of the School of Mines and Metallurgy here October 17.

"It is the faculty that makes a grea t university," President McHaney said. " Fortunately men and women who dedicate themselves to a life of teaching relegate monetary consideration to a secondary position. If they did not do that, they certainly wouldn' t become teachers. But after all they are human and have families and being human and having families they are desirous of making as much money as they can consistent with their paramount mission of teaching. " Prior to the last sesion of the legislature, your Board of Curators caused a survey to be made of salaries paid by other state universities of comparable size to our own in order to compare those salaries with those paid by our own University," McHaney continued_ " The survey reveoaled what we had

suspectea, namely, that our salary scales were lower than t h at ot other similar institutions of com parable size and stature. " We examined the salary scales of fifteen universities Ohio State, Indiana , Iowa , Michigan , Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa State, Texas Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Arkansas and here is what w e found: " For salaries paid full professors Misouri University , including Rolla , stood in eighth place below Wisconsin, Texas, Minnesota, Michigan , Iowa , Indiana and Ohio .

"For salaries paid instructors Missouri University stood in last place - fifteenth position of fifteen universities.

"The only justification for that would be that we don't have the wealth of other states. L e t 's see about that. Missouri is a comparatively wealthy state the per capita income of our citizens as compared to the p er capita of the other fourteen states places us in sixth position. In other words, our per capita income is sufficient to place us in fifteenth position.

"But that is not all - in Oklahoma , Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois the state sp ends for their university more than $3 .50 per year per person r esident in the state. In Kansas the p er cap -

Prof. J. B. Butler, ' 24 , Head of the Civil Engineering Department at the School of Mine s and Metallurgy, has been awarded the outstanding service award of the National Society of Profess ional Engineers.

The award was in recognition of his successful efforts in bringing 75 new members into the organization and also for his research on the unionization problem in engineering. Professor Butler, as head of this year's drive to get new members, has already brought 61 new memb ers into the organization today.

Professor Butler and Professor E. W. Carlton '26, of the Civil Engineering Department went to Indianapolis, Indiana, November 4th to attend a Board of Directors meeting of the National Society of Professional Engineers. They were accompanied by Harold J. Bruegging, '32 , 710 Cardinal Street, Jefferson City, Mo., who is vice-president of the Society. Dean Wilson is chairman of the InterSociety Relations Committee and was scheduled to attend, but was unable to do so because of previous engagements.

Dr. Mervin J . K elly '14, Presdent of B ell Telephone Laboratories, and one of the nation's leadin g industrial scientists, has been named to receive the Industrial R e:;earch Institute Medal for 1954.

The m edal, awarded annually since 1945, is given for "outstanding accomplishment in l eadership or in management of industrial research which contributes broa dly to the development of industry or the public w elfare."

Announcem ent of the award was made by Dr. Alle n Abrams , President of the Institute and Vice-Presid ent of the Marathon Corporation , Rothschild , Wisconsin, at the Institute's fall m eeting h eld in N ew York City Octo!:;>er 28 , 1953. Official presentation of the m edal will be made at an Institute dinner to be h e ld on April 22 in an Francisco .

The Industrial R esearch Institute was organized in 1938 under the auspices of the National Research Council. It has a membership of 128 companies with research staffs totaling more than 50 ,000 p er sons. Its broad objectives include the promotion of improve d m anagement of industrial r esearch, the development of an und er standing of research as a force in the life of the nation, and the promotion of high standards in the field of industrial research.

Dr. K elly began his Bell System career as a r esearch physicist with the W estern Electric Compa ny in 1918, a nd b ecam e associated with B '2 11 T ele phone Laboratories when it was incorporated in 1925. H e late r served as Development Dir ector of Tra n smission Instruments a nd Electronics, and in 1936 was appointed Director of R esearch.

In 1944 h e w as appointed Executive Vice President, and in 1951, President of the Laboratories.

B eginning in 1938, Dr. Kelly was increasingly active in r es arc h and development for the militar y. In World W ar II the Laboratories converted a lmost completely to military r esearch a nd de velopment, and carrie d out more

tha n 1200 r esearch and development proj ects for the armed forces. Dr. Kelly was placed in charge of a ll military work of the Laboratories, directing pro g l' a m s whose volume amounted to some $ 175 million for the war period.
